This Volkswagen Golf Mk1 was built by Forge Motorsport<\/a> in Gloucester, UK. The company started the project’s second phase in March with the goal being more power, less weight, and new racing livery. Always a good recipe for improvement. The engine is a 1.8 T inline-four bored and stroked to 2.0 L (2008 cc). The engine uses an AGU block, 2.0 L TFSI crank, JE pistons, and Integrated Engineering Tuscan rods. It produces 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque thanks to a Owen Developments GBT-5465-HTA turbocharger. From there power goes to a VW O2M six-speed manual transmission with a Golf G60 flywheel and Sachs clutch to a Wavetrac differential. They further improved performance with a lot of carbon fiber and composite materials resulting in an estimated weight of 1,763-1,818 lb.
